The Parish Democratic Conycn.
ton which convened here Monday
was in every way truly a reprcsen.
'atlve body. lis proceedings were
harmonious, and conducted upon the
broad policy of the greatest good to
the party, thus removing all cause of
dissatisfaction and ~dissention and re.
conclling discordant clements. The
delegation sent to Baton Rouge goes
uhlnstrucfed, but will vote for Gen.
Nichols as long as he has any hope
OF success.

In a private letter received last
week, too late for publication, Hon.
Don Gallery most positively and
cmp'aticalIy denies the statement
attributed to him by the Raync
.Sis"@ in a late issue. "Why didn't
the Nichols men bolt" AS this in
furious squib has been widely copied
by a number of papers that are al.
ways crying out for fair play and
dcpfecating personal journalism"
among them notably the States and
Echc, We wonder if they will be
generous enough to make this cor
rection.

IN an editorial in its issue Of
last Wednesday the Tines Democrat
takes the Piicayune to task for giving
unreliable figures, and stating that
the 'ermilion delegation we're in
structcd for Nichols wien they are
hot. In support of its position this
paper Is cited as authority. We
notice the matter to call attention to
the fact that our telegram, Which was
not to the Times Democrat, but to the
States. was sarblcd, and that portion
suppressed, which stated that the
delegation, though uninstructcd, was
for Nichols" The official proceed,
lngs oi the convention, in another
column, establishes the the facts as
regards th, refusal to Instruct for
Nichols.

"enreafab bic Figures.o

In the Tines Democrat of the 18th
instant appeared an editorial headed
as above, in which that organ at.
tempts to make a show to the effect
that the Picaynnc's campaign dis.
patches were unreliable, and refers
to US for authority with regard to
the action OF the Democratic parish
convention of this parish, on the
Eth instant, in voting down q reso.
luton TO instruct the delegates for
General Francis I. Nichols. While
this is true, it is likewise so that the
convention endorsed General T. T..
Nichols (thc foremost choice of this
parIsh), as the candidate of the
Democratic party for governor.
Now, in order to quiet the minds
OF the Tines Democrat and all other
doubling Womayes, we will here
state, auec connaisance de cause, that
the action of the convention here
was based on the fact that the dele.
selected were known to be
.s'auncll, unfllnching Nichols men;
that they would, aud will, to a man,
stand by our hero to the last, and
That any instructions to that effect
were futile and unnecessary. Let
every M know, hence, that Yer
Is solid for Nichols.

IL is said that Mt the meeting OF a
number of citizens of West Dallas, as
sembled to hear Col. Wylie, Capt.
Alexander and others tell of the great
advantages of an elevated street rail-
way TO that portion of the suburbs
of Dallas, the deliberations came sud.
denly to an alarming close. There
Dies not seem to be any explanation of
the matter. A number Of distin-
guished persons had spoken, when the
chairman of the meeting said he
would announce the committee on
subscriptions. At this interesting
point some one in the meeting moved
an adjournment, and before any one
could catch their breath the motion
carried ana the meeting adjourned. 1t
is said that the ardor Of the people for
the building of such road has not
diminished, but some one thought
they had discovered "mare's nest, "
and proceeded to bury it; but this
may be all Imagination, a "trick of the
enemy" etc. However, there is to be
another meeting tonight, which will
probably be represented by other cap
italists. 1t is evident that somebody
"sees millions" in this proposed ele-
waited railway.
